Today’s post is light on news, as we’re busy working on a couple of MAJOR new Blu-ray Disc reviews for you guys that will be posted over the next few days, including Warner’s long-awaited The Right Stuff: 30th Anniversary Edition!

Also here at the site today, our own Russell Hammond has posted the weekly Release Dates & Artwork update featuring all the latest Blu-ray, DVD and Video Game cover artwork and Amazon.com pre-order links. As always, a portion of anything you order from the retailer after clicking to them through our links goes to help support our work here at The Bits and we really appreciate it!

Meanwhile, here’s the latest announcement news…

First an update: Our report from the other day about the 165-minute running time of Fox’s The Wolverine: Unleashed Extended Edition came from ThinkJam, which is handling PR on the title. However, it appears that the information was incorrect. Director James Mangold has now reported that the actual running time of the Extended Edition is 12 minutes longer than the 126-minute theatrical cut, or 138 minutes – not 165 minutes – and we have officially confirmed that with Fox. Sorry about that, but we can only report the information we’re given as we’re given it, but we hate reporting inaccurate info. Anyway – 138 minutes it is.

Paramount has set Anne Fontaine’s Adore for release on Blu-ray and DVD on 12/10. The film stars Naomi Watts and Robin Wright-Penn.
